Proviral HIV DNA by PCR

Proviral HIV DNA by PCR

I had unprotected oral sex with this woman (we did each other) on 8/7, 3 days later I found out she is HIV.
That day (3 days later) I had a Proviral HIV DNA by PCR Testing done (they proboly didnt test it until the 8th) which came back negative then 9 days later I had my doctor take blood to do an HIV test which came back negative. I hear good things and bad things about Proviral HIV DNA by PCR. Should I get a third test?

You cannot get HIV from oral sex.

You are wasting your money on DNA PCR tests; they're not even CDC approved for HIV testing.

From what I understand is it's possible to get it thru sucking on coochie.

Just because it bothered me I had a test done in the 2nd week of december 2009 (4 months after the oral sex incident) which came back clean. I then had sex with another woman (statis unknown) and I wore a condom a couple of days after that test. I then had another test done the last week of January 2010 about six weeks after having sex (real quick and I was soft) with the new chick.I was so nervous before and after that I took the condom and put water in it to make sure it wasnt leaking.

If the condom was  leaking and this person had HIV and I took a test 6 weeks out and it was negative then I still would have to worry right?
But since the condom seemed fine and I actually used it then I shouldnt have anything to worry about right?
